It's despicable. Joke about murdering your boss with a rusty fork in the open office floor like a good office worker, you heathens. Wow that's certainly a new page huh. For content; My boss is starting a massive initiative to restructure a bunch of teams into our team, presumably to build himself up higher and net a promotion that doesn't exist today. Except he doesn't have any support from the team members because he can't keep a plan or write anything down and nobody knows what our jobs are going to look like in three months, at the whim of this self serving rear end in a top hat trying to make a name for himself. Recently it's been going so poorly that he's flat out lying to us. Lying about timelines, lying about which team members have agreed to join, lying about the impact to our workload. No matter how many times I point out what he says isn't true, he refuses to listen, and inevitably I find out from somebody else that he knew the truth the whole time.

I've pretty well doxxed myself for anyone digging enough. The next meeting to discuss company values is going to be an interesting one. I can't see how you can have a serious discussion about the ethical use of paper towels in the restroom with that lurking in the background.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:It uses different processes to assemble the PDF based on selection? And one of those two is broken? But doesn't it have to save the PDF to a temp directory to generate it to attach to the email in the first place? PremiumSupport posted:I work with Dynamics GP, not NAV, but it sounds like the default path for saving PDFs has not been defined correctly. It tries to find the folder specified by the default path variable and fails, so it throws an error. When emailing though, it's quite happy to use the temporary files path, which is properly defined, allowing you to get to a save screen. Well, there's that answered  Perhaps not having the default path point to something that may or may not exist on the C:\ drive? Perhaps...I don't know...something on the NAV server?  They've spent multiple hundreds of thousands on this implementation and we must have switched MSPs 3 or 4 times. Supposedly the one we're using now is pretty good...but so were the last few.

Ask the C-levels who spent millions getting this set up and still can't shell out for enough licenses for everyone in the company. "No Approval templates are enabled for document type Order"! So I dump them all to PDFs and send them to my manager and hope he gets back to me in a timely manner. More importantly than that, why do I have to email for approval when I literally have an excellent track record? I don't buy frivolously and not only do I buy the cheapest I can find, I pursue vendors to get better prices (and ended up saving us over 50% on something just today)? It's dickwaving is what it is. FAKE EDIT: Now wait just a loving minute why is this here and not enabled and why can I not enable it?   Okay, so I edited the list and enabled it.

As soon as leadership gets their heads out of their asses and gives us stories to work on my team is going to be working with another team at my office in Iowa, a team at the parent company's head office in Minneapolis, and a team the parent company has in India for a huge project that should have started 6 months ago. That part is another story that is just a clusterfuck. Today we were told that they would like both teams at our office to go to the parent company's head office Monday through an unspecified day next week to participate in "team/relationship building activities" with the team we are going to be working with there. My team's response: gently caress no. This project has been a clusterfuck from day 1, you are not having us spending who knows how many days next week in another state for "team building", especially with less than a week's notice.

Are the client internal or external? If they are setting up cameras for external why wouldn't they leave the default login for the customer to change? Could be worse. We have 3 different video systems at my employer. A milestone, Cisco and some other brand I can't remember the name. Each with it's own software interface

We are an MSP and do the admin work on those systems. Clients have there own accounts to view and do actions. This is all pure laziness and no desire to even attempt best practices. 2FA was only enabled on our screenconnect in the past month and one boomer voip tech has thrown a massive fit about this change. I'm not sure how enforced this is beyond finally having the option on accounts, so I may have a story of how all our clients were crypto'd in a few weeks.

I use my personal car when I'm in state, but most of my larger expenses (hotels/rental car) are because I'm flying out of state. Sadly I do not get to put the flights on my card because that would be some sweet bonus miles. I do have a free day of rental through National already, probably will have 2-3 by the time mycvacation to san diego comes up.

We have some new systems with 100gb network cards and nvme storage. When we turn on Intel VMD (a feature that enables hot swapping and led activity lights) the 100gb interface is not visible to the OS anymore. So after some head scratching and googling, we find this: https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/servers/thinksystem/sn550/7x16/solutions/ht506197 "With Intel VMD enabled, all PCI devices behind the VMD controller, for example, NVMe controller inside NVMe SSDs, will be invisible to the operating systems on the server." "This is a permanent restriction due to the Intel VMD design." So I guess going forward you can't have hot swap if you want to actually use other stuff on that PCI bus? What the hell, intel.  edit - more chatter says it might be a motherboard quirk. I guess you're supposed to be able to enable VMD on a per-slot basis. But I still mad about it. xzzy fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Mar 4, 2020 |

UEFI-enabled machines that will only boot from FAT32 thumb drives to install an OS can kiss my rear end. If they need a very specific volume label, they're gonna need to break out the mouthwash. I had no idea how spoiled I was working mainly with HP Elites. Now I'm my boss' "can you get an OS on this $WEIRD_POS_HARDWARE To be honest, the 24-core Threadripper system with 256GB RAM isn't a POS, it just really, really, really doesn't want to install Server 2016.

I already hate Airwatch. It's a complicated and fragile piece of poo poo that barely works right on the best of days. But putting firewall rules that deny all traffic to the DMZ server, deleting the public DNS A and CNAME records, and changing the credentials of every service account without notice or documentation, and then expecting me to just magically fix it all when I discovered that it's broken is just too much. I fixed all the aforementioned things and it's still broken and I'm at my wit's end.

Had a site that got scanned for PCI compliance. I've done this dozens of times with plenty of vendors and usually its a pretty straight forward process. This time I must've gotten some snort junkie from hell because it was like pulling teeth to get the site passed. First off its a remote site setup with a site to site VPN . Initially the site, even though it was using IKEv2 would also allow IKEv1 proposals. We get flagged for this which was fair and we turn off accepting IKEv1. Except thats not good enough for the guy. He comes back saying that we're still allowing "main mode" negotiation. That set off like 5 emails back and forth until I can finally make him understand that IKEv2 doesnt have negotiation modes. At this point I think we're finally done and I can close the ticket. Then this shitlord comes back and asks for justification for remote management for the site and why its setup as a site to site vpn.  This is for a PCI compliance check!!! I honestly didnt know how to respond but was getting mad. I said that we needed remote management for the same reason that he didnt fly out to the store and run his little port scan on site. I think he's finally accepted this and will pass us but jesus.

Welp, sociopathic boss has broken me. Sat down with him and his boss to come to terms and learn how to work together. He refuses to compromise on anything despite it being the purpose of the meeting. He throws me under every bus he can find and doesn't listen to my responses. And his boss defended him the whole time like I was kicking a homeless puppy. Resume time I guess. Sucks because I really enjoy this job besides my boss. I could have any other boss on any other team and stay here for decades.

I am convinced that VMWare bought Airwatch to get their customers to push Cloud Desktop on, there's no other sensible reason, especially given that they paid that much for them when the company was about a month away from collapsing due to burn rate vs income.

My source for it is the guy who wrote the report, who was my ex-boss, so nothing I can make formally public. Up until the company that bought us pivoted away from mobile I worked for a company that was at least in the "provides MDM" an Airwatch competitor and I have all sorts of stories (from customers and phone providers) that I can't tell without breaking NDAs about the dumb, awful things Airwatch has done. It's public that AirWatch were the original MDM vendor on the LAUSD iPad scheme that collapsed because they had no actual management of iPads so I can share that much of one story, I guess.
